Remind me of your age? </p> <p>I "like* the dress. It's not actually the colour that I find challenging - it's the style. It's really short and the spaghetti straps are so-so.You can absolutely pull off a nude dress and your instinctive creativity with accessories is spot on. Well done on that part! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-bought-a-nude-dresshow-to-wear-without-looking-dead#post-189792 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 19:06:32 +0000 tarzy 189792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. You really rock that dress. You're young enough to wear it short, so iif you're comfortable with it, go for it. You certainly have the figure for it.</p> <p>I actually like it with the black. It gives it edge. And maybe add black leggings? I think it depends on where you're wearing it. I can see black accessories for drinks with friends. The other looks I could see for dinner with the family, date night, etc. It's such a good neutral base you can play around with lots of different looks. You have tons of jewelry, right? You can have a field day with this dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-bought-a-nude-dresshow-to-wear-without-looking-dead#post-189782 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 17:48:22 +0000 biscuitsmom 189782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the pink with pearls look is really lovely....so soft and cool looking for summer. What a great buy! Glad you got it.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-bought-a-nude-dresshow-to-wear-without-looking-dead#post-189740 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 16:12:14 +0000 Steph 189740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think there is any problem with the color of the dress. Personally, I like it best with the red accessories. My least favorite is the last photo, with the pink, because I feel like it blends too much with the dress--I prefer a pop of color. </p> <p>I also just wanted to discourage you from wearing hose/tights with this to hide the whiteness of your legs. I actually don't think your legs look that pale at all, and there is certainly nothing wrong with their color. I think that hose that makes your legs darker might ruin the look a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-bought-a-nude-dresshow-to-wear-without-looking-dead#post-189738 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 16:05:52 +0000 Sveta 189738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty dress! I will leave the length issue to others: it is too short for my taste but hey, you are young!<br /> I do not like black with it - too harsh contrast IMO - but I like all other combinations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-bought-a-nude-dresshow-to-wear-without-looking-dead#post-189736 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 15:43:08 +0000 Cookie 189736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the 1st and 3rd looks the best. The "red" and the "pink &amp; black". The dress is beautiful and you have a stunning figure. I do not think the dress is too short. It looks great belted or unbelted. I think this dress fits both your body and your personality and will be a versatile piece for you. Wear it all sorts of ways with all sorts of colors. You rock it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-bought-a-nude-dresshow-to-wear-without-looking-dead#post-189730 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 15:35:44 +0000 aimee 189730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer it belted. I like the red best, but the comments about tights or leggings are good ideas. If you paired it with a blazer it would be a cool fem/ menswear combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-bought-a-nude-dresshow-to-wear-without-looking-dead#post-189726 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 15:27:43 +0000 Traci 189726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All the options looked nice, but the peachy/coral accessories were my favorite.</p> <p>I don't think the color makes you look dead at all. In fact, I think the more beige color really plays up the peachiness in your skin nicely.</p> <p>Since you do it so well, have you thought about layering a top under the dress? I liked the idea of it with a black blazer and tights as well. I think it was a great score for your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-bought-a-nude-dresshow-to-wear-without-looking-dead#post-189686 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 13:02:14 +0000 RoseandJoan 189686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tara, is the dress cream? It looks cream on my monitor and very cute on you.</p> <p>I recently saw this image and thought a grey cardi may look lovely over your dress.<br /> <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/fashionpicturegalleries/7894554/In-pictures-how-to-get-balletic-style.html?image=2" rel="nofollow">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/fas.....ml?image=2</a></p> <p>I also think black opaques could look good if worn with a black blazer.</p> <p>Out of the accessories photographs I prefer the red, I don't mind the matching as I view this as retro rather than matchy-matchy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-bought-a-nude-dresshow-to-wear-without-looking-dead#post-189684 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 12:43:28 +0000 Queen Mum 189684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am really surprised that I prefer the 2nd and 4th pictures with the lighter color accessories...the red and black were fine but seemed a bit harsh against the color of the dress to me.<br /> I like Fi's idea of plum colored accessories. You get the contrast without the harshness. Even a softer red would work well.<br /> But honeslty, I think you could do just about anything with it and have a great outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-bought-a-nude-dresshow-to-wear-without-looking-dead#post-189665 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 08:44:12 +0000 Louise 189665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a lovley dress is it lacy? Hopefully Angie will chime in but it looks a tad short to be worn without leggings?<br /> In terms of accessories it looks great belted and unbelted and i think it needs the darker/ more vibrant accessories of the black, red and coral x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-bought-a-nude-dresshow-to-wear-without-looking-dead#post-189664 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 08:35:44 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 189664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a really sweet and pretty dress - perfect for a date, and you have such a pretty face shape!</p> <p>I prefer it belted with either the red or black belt - I like the vintage look of the buckle. What I am not sure about is the matching shoes, belt and handbag (perhaps someone else will comment).</p> <p>You could also try it with plum/purple accessories.</p> <p>Also, I think that you should try photographing in natural light as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-please-bought-a-nude-dresshow-to-wear-without-looking-dead#post-189661 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 08:23:43 +0000 Tara 189661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone,</p> <p>I few weeks ago I posted about potentially getting a nude dress. You can read the original post here:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-dress-on-really-pale-skin" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-pale-skin</a></p> <p>I have very pale, pink-toned, almost translucent skin and I'm aware of the potential issues of looking washed out and "dead" with these kinds of colours.</p> <p>The original idea was to get something kind of "pink/nude" toned to complement my skin tone. But I saw this dress in a thrift store for $7 yesterday and thought, hey, why not, might as well try it to see if it'll work for me...without breaking the bank on a brand new dress. It's definitely more of a beigey nude than a pink nude.</p> <p>I styled it 4 different ways. I won't say which I personally prefer right now as I am very keen to hear your perspectives. Unfortunately I didn't have time to experiment with makeup which might make a bit of difference...I'm simply wearing mascara and a little foundation under the eyes...everything else is au naturale. It's also highly likely I will wear nude stockings/tights/hose to take the super whiteness out of my legs.</p> <p>Red accessories:<br /> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/116867860990752292953/NudeDress#5497754835624136466" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/11.....5624136466</a></p> <p>Peachy/corally accessories<br /> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/116867860990752292953/NudeDress#5497755174777447378" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/11.....4777447378</a></p> <p>Pink and black accessories - please advise on belted or unbelted too please!<br /> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/116867860990752292953/NudeDress#5497755613709830514" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/11.....3709830514</a></p> <p>Nude pink with pearls<br /> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/116867860990752292953/NudeDress#5497755986156627474" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/11.....6156627474</a></p> <p>So, the major questions:<br /> 1) Does it work? At all? Or is it simply awful? No biggie if it is cos it only cost $7<br /> 2) Which combo is best?<br /> 3) Belted or unbelted?</p> <p>Thanks everyone! Much appreciated! xx </p>
